Study Notes

Genetics and Heredity

Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics.
Chromosomes are the structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is an organic chemical that contains genetic information and instructions for protein synthesis.
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) carries the information from DNA and transforms it into proteins.
DNA contains four bases: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T).
Through his work on pea plants, Gregor Mendel discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance, including the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.
The function of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is to store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next.
Chromosomes are the structures within cells that contain a person's genes, which are made up of DNA.
The function of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is to carry the information from DNA and transform it into proteins, which are essential for various cellular processes.
